Title: Snake needs help!
Post by: Solid Snake 88 on June 29, 2002, 05:21:01 PM: For the last few months by PS2 hasn\'t been playing DVDs. PS1 games, PS2 CDs, and music CDs work fine, but not PS2 DVDs or movie DVDs. Today I bought a lens cleaner at Best Buys, but it only does its cleaning when its on track 3... and since its not a music CD I can\'t get to the individual tracks. It works fine on my comp and regular CD players. Is there anything I can do? Or will I just have to return it and get a new one? If so, what is a good one to get?

Thanks.

Post by: Solid Snake 88 on June 29, 2002, 07:23:24 PM: Lol theres no way for them to know. Everything is exactly the same as before I opened it. Besides I\'m not planning on sending it to Sony. I\'ll either try some other quick fixes or buy a new one and switch them.
I r evil :evil:

Hope those work.

Post by: Solid Snake 88 on June 29, 2002, 08:36:41 PM: Tried it. Don\'t have any. Tried it.

Also I can\'t bring it to a store and switch it because:
1) Its an older model
2) Its got "Void" all over the sticker now.

Damn :(

Post by: WFS420 on June 30, 2002, 11:21:21 AM: I did read it, I said try ANOTHER lens cleaner. You said the one you bought before only cleaned on track 3 and you couldn\'t get your system to do that. Try getting a cleaner that\'ll clean by just popping it in.

No biggie man. But about your problem, it looks like you\'ve pretty much explored all your options. The only thing that\'s really left to do is send it into Sony, but it looks like it may cost you some money if they see that you\'ve opened it up. :(

Post by: Bozco on June 30, 2002, 11:57:59 AM: Buddy mine does that too. It does the cleaning on track 3 but think about it for two seconds. When trying to read the disk, the disk is spinning. So it still is cleaning the lens.;)

I know... I guess I could just get a black sticker of about the same length and put it in its place. It won\'t be *too* noticable...
Besides its long past its warranty anyway.

It\'s hard to clean the lense if the cleaner can\'t be read.
